Narrative Theme

In this tutorial, we will take you through how to add BookThatApp Booking Forms to the Narrative theme. Before you start we recommend you take a backup of your current theme.

 

Note: Widgets are our newest type of booking form. We highly recommend using a widget over a classic booking form. Our booking forms are available in the app for the Business or higher app subscriptions. Besides requiring no coding changes and having a more modern look that flows better with the theme, the widgets have more settings and greater app performance in comparison to the classic forms. Since the widgets require no coding changes you can easily have many different types of widgets in your store to handle all types of booking scenarios. 

If you have not tried out a widget yet please see the following:

Step 1 - Choose Your Booking Form

• Login to BookThatApp
• In BTA Admin, select the Install link from the left hand navigation menu
• Click on the Install button next to the form that you want installed. Clicking the Install button creates a booking-form snippet in your current theme. Please refer to our article how to choose the booking form if you need help with this step.

Step 2 - Add the booking form to the Shopify product page

• In Shopify Admin, open your current theme.
• Open the product-form.liquid file under the Snippets area of your Theme Editor.
• Look for the following code between lines 20 and 42:

• Paste {% include 'booking-form' %} below the </select> element on line 43:

• Click Save

Booking Form

To track when the variant changes, add the following booking-form.liquid just above the line that starts with {% assign bta_configured:

  $('.product-template').on('variant_change_successful', function(event, section,
  product, variant) {
    var btaForm = $('form.product-form', section.container).data('bta.bookingForm');
    btaForm.setSelectedVariantId(variant.id);
  })

So it ends up looking like this:

 

 

Step 3 - Updating the Cart Page 

• Continue with the instructions in the BTA Admin Install page. There is no need to add line item properties for the Narrative theme, however we recommend disabling the quantity in the cart page. The quantity code is at line 145 of the cart-template.liquid file in the Sections area of the Theme Editor.

Step 4 - Updating the Email Templates

• Continue with the instructions in the BTA Admin Install page.

Step 5 - CSS Changes:

We recommend adding CSS to the theme.scss.liquid file found in the Assets section. Below you will find an example on modifying it:

.booking-form {margin-bottom:20px}
.booking-form label {width:80px; margin-right: 5px;}
.booking-form input.bta.datepicker, .booking-form select.bta-time, .booking-form select.bta-load-enable {min-width:185px; margin-bottom:10px}

The app should now be successfully installed in the Narrative theme. If you have any questions or the booking form is not appearing, please create a ticket and we'll be happy to help.
